G126: Red Sox 6, Mariners 3

Lackey (8-6-3-2-10, 112) got his act together and Marco Scutaro drove in four runs.

The Yankees lost to the Blue Jays 3-2 (Jose Bautista hit two home runs and drove in all three of Toronto's runs) and the Rays beat the Angels 4-3. Boston gained a game on New York and are 5.5 GB in the East.

1992 - Andy Carter of the Clearwater Phillies defeats Scott Bakkum of the Winter Haven Red Sox 1-0 (Florida State League (A)). Neither team gets a hit in what is believed to be the first double no-hitter in the minors in 40 years. The run scores on two walks and two sacrifice bunts.

Wow, Allan drove all the way to Buffalo! How long a trip is that? Hope the weather is better there than here. Do we have a prediction on whether rain will interfere with tonight's game (the one in Boston)?

Don & Jerry are talking about Bermuda - the only beach-type vacation Allan and I ever took - went for a few days for our 10th anniversary. Off season, had the whole island to ourselves. It's beautiful there.

Funny--Harvey just said we should go back to Bermuda. We went there in 92 in May after school got out. It is beautiful. We didn't like the food much (too bland, English-y), but we hear that that has changed.

We were in Bermuda for just a long week end over Memorial Day---pre-season for Bermuda, I believe. We do like good food, especially on vacation. I would definitely go back, even if the food has not improved.

All right. Dinner with a friend, then music awaits - Drum up some good news for me by the time I get home plz, like a win maybe.I mean, sheez, his name is Fister.......do something rude guys!(ducks and runs)LATER!

I think that when it comes to TV, most people are so used to ads on everything they watch that they are desensitized, like I am. Most of us are just sheep being led to slaughter by subliminal advertising in every aspect of our lives, especially on television.

The reason Fenway and Wrigley and Yankee Stadium are still called those are because ownership realizes they are worth more with their real names - that the park itself is worth more than naming rights. Fans would go beserk, and they don't need that.

Is Dodger Stadium still called Dodger Stadium? When did the whole phenomenon of corporate names on arenas/ballparks begin? I can't even keep track of the names of parks any more, since the corporate sponsors are always changing, as in San Francisco.

Hey All, I just got in, got some laundry folded, talked to my daughter (all while watching the game). Lackey just can't keep it clean. Have I mentioned that I really don't like that guy?

Bermuda, my husband and I went with his firm back in 1993. I was pregnant with Jonathan so I couldn't go parasailing. Anyway, I remembered it as being clean, friendly, and beautiful. We went back two years ago with the kids. It was just as gorgeous as I remembered!

I can't imagine that the cost of living in Ontario is more than the cost of living in New England. So it is interesting that the minimum is higher there. More taken for taxes? Higher standards for quality of life needs?

I am trying to think of how to compare the costs of living. My daughter lives in Boston and pays over $2300 for a very small three bedroom basement level apartment (in a good neighborhood, though). Is it much more than that in Ontario?

I assume gas is more there. Not sure how to compare food costs or other basic necessities.

Went to Florida in July, 2006, so the beaches were empty... Stayed with some family in the city of Palm Coast which was very nice. I really liked it. Then had some more family near Ocala. Didn't like that nearly as much. Saw both sides of Florida on that trip. Good and bad.
